Abstract
Human urinary metabolites of the synthetic corticosteroids prednisone and prednisolone were detected in the course of gas chromatographic steroid profiling as methoxime-trimethylsilyl derivatives. Metabolites were provisionaly identified by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major metabolites were 11-keto/11-hydroxy conversion products, 20-hydroxy and 4,5-dihydro analogues of the parent drugs. Cortisone, 6-hydroxy and fully saturated A-ring compounds were minor metabolites. Retention indices and mass spectral data are presented.Entities:
